Confronting Models with Data
APRIL 2003 AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY | T he use of data to evaluate models is fundamental to science. Ideally, evaluations can be controlled and optimized in the laboratory; in most cases, however, atmospheric scientists have to perform model–data intercomparisons by taking advantage of the uncontrolled opportunities that nature provides. A model-evaluation project is complicated in at le...
متن کاملRapid Spacetime Transport and Machian Mass Fluctuations: Theory and Experiment
The equations of physics, generally, are invariant under the symmetry groups of infinitesimal space and time translations. This means that energy and momentum are conserved in “isolated” systems, that is, systems that do not couple physically to anything outside of themselves. Among the propellantless propulsion schemes of interest in the context of “breakthrough propulsion physics”, however, a...
متن کاملSuperhumps: Confronting Theory with Observation
We review the theory and observations related to the “superhump” precession of eccentric accretion discs in close binary sytems. We agree with earlier work, although for different reasons, that the discrepancy between observation and dynamical theory implies that the effect of pressure in the disc cannot be neglected. We extend earlier work that investigates this effect to include the correct e...
متن کاملFinsler Spinoptics
The objective of this article is to build up a general theory of geometrical optics for spinning light rays in an inhomogeneous and anisotropic medium modeled on a Finsler manifold. The prerequisites of local Finsler geometry are reviewed together with the main properties of the Cartan connection used in this work. Then, the principles of Finslerian spinoptics are formulated on the grounds of p...
متن کاملFinsler Surfaces with Prescribed Curvature Conditions
A generalization of Finsler structures on surfaces is proposed and the differential invariants of such structures are developed. The information obtained is then used to construct examples of Finsler structures and generalized Finsler structures which satisfy various interesting curvature conditions. In particular, examples are constructed of non-Riemannian Finsler structures on the 2-sphere wh...
